Spanish language added to the Localphone website

August 14th, 2012

We are pleased to announce that we have launched a localized version of the Localphone website in Spanish. If you have your Internet browser set to Spanish you will see a pop up message asking you whether you would like to view the Spanish version of the website. Customers will be able to create an account, add credit and send SMS text messages in Spanish. Users who don’t automatically see the pop up message can click the language link in the footer or change it in your account settings.

We hope the new language option will encourage new customers to use the service, as well as making the website more accessible for our existing customers. Visit the new Localphone Spanish website.

This is the first of many languages that will be added to the website. CEO and founder of Localphone, Paul Cusack, said, ‘We are delighted to have added Spanish to our website. The company goal is to become a multilingual service and we look forward to adding more languages over the coming months.’
